Aged Care & Retirement Living

Hynes Legal is a specialist law firm, highly experienced in the provision of legal advice to organisations operating within the aged care and retirement living industries.

We act for a range of aged care providers and retirement living operators from small standalone providers to the largest listed groups.

We provide advice to aged care and retirement village operators on the sale, purchase, redevelopment and operation of aged care and retirement village assets as well as on the management of major clinical and workplace health and safety incidents.

Our aged care and retirement living industry team is led by Director, Julie McStay. Julie is well known as a legal expert in these industries and was recently selected by her peers for inclusion, for the sixth consecutive year, in the ‘Best Lawyers International list’ as a leading lawyer in Australia in ‘Retirement Villages and Senior Living Law’. This year she was also selected by her peers for inclusion, in the ‘Best Lawyers International list’ as a leading lawyer in Australia in ‘Health and Aged Care Law’.

Many of the organisations that the Hynes Legal team provide legal services for are long standing clients. This is a testament to our industry expertise, the time we invest with each of our clients to understand their business and our extensive knowledge of the complex legislative framework in which they operate.

Hynes Legal has the required experience and capability of a large law firm to handle large or highly-complex transactions and matters, complimented with the flexibility, efficiency and accessibility of a smaller and agiler firm

The legal advice and services we provide to our Aged Care & Retirement Living clients include:

“Julie and her team are experts in both the aged care and retirement village industries, and it makes sense for us to use them for all of our aged care and retirement living work as it consolidates our legal services needs.“
